Oh yea? Says who? Even Gaga's last album beat Teenage Dream in sales (better sales internationally). And Katy is fading as far as the radio is concerned... don't hear that much anymore. One Direction I hear more now.

Spoken like a die hard Katy Perry fan. Tad bit of wishful thinking on your part I think.

Anyways this has been interesting. Defending an artist who I've only seen twice... and being called a "die hard" fan.. lol... when I don't even listen to pop most of the time.

LOL its because she has practically released her whole album as singles and after her 8th straight single, which by the way is doing very well in the charts, she has decided to take some time off.

Wait so you take offense when they call you a diehard fan since you have only seen her twice but you call me one yet I have never been to her concert...I love it

Taylor Swift who? Well...Taylor is younger, prettier, more successful than Lady Gaga plus her last album actually sold 1m+ and did I mention she is only 22..wow

Katy Perry isn't as popular internationally, and certainly not even so in Asia (where her last album did quite poorly actually).

Taylor is none of those (and again has nothing internationally). Just a country music star that will have her time of fame for a year. I mean even One Direction is more popular then she is. Swift simply isn't more successful then Gaga... that's another lie. But hey keep it up.

If you want to talk numbers, Gaga wins on that one.

And why is it you only respond to select portions of my post? Is that how it goes around here? Most of what I listen to is considered "Latin rap" (reggaeton). Pretty excited by J LO featuring in Wisin & Yandel's new album...

Who said I was never a fan? Of course I'm a fan of Katy Perry jut not a die hard one. She is in my top 5

Taylor is more successful than Lady Gaga. Look at what Taylor has accomplish at such a young age all while being, according to you, just a "country singer". Her last album sold 1m+ its first week and is still selling.

Re: I tell you! The Gaga phenomena has finished.

OK, she make be an OK pianist and aerobics dancer but she is an international corporation with a staff of hundreds of contract workers, scriptwriters, marketeers, psychologists, voice coaches, auto tuners, seamstresses, tax agents, internet developers, more marketeers etc, etc, etc who tells her what to dress, say, sing, think etc.etc

I guess historical revisionism is your favorite thing. Even Gaga's last album had more sales in total (incl/ international sales) then Swift's last album.

Look at it this way, come with some numbers, or you don't have a case.

Oh and as long as we are talking about top artists, Gaga is probably 7 or 8th for me... in my own favorites. Some of the music I listen to is underground... so I don't equate quality = quantity.

So its Taylors fault that she had the talent to become famous at 16?...Sorry that had me laughing really hard..lol
Her last Album has sold twice the amount of BTW in the U.S. She was ranked at # 15 in Billboards Top 20 Hot 100 Songwriters 2000–2011 and thats with only three albums out. Plus how many Grammys and awards does she already have?

Re: I tell you! The Gaga phenomena has finished.

Some of you are very annoying. I feel like I'm in a chat room with teen female Beliebers lol.

Anyways, people say the same thing for any artist who is constantly in the spotlight and suddenly falls out of the spotlight. It's not because she is failing the charts, its not that people like her less, its just that we see her less. Lady Gaga is still quite relevant IMO. She's just not promoting an album or a single at the moment where as Rihanna and Katy are. Once Gaga starts promoting new things, it will be highly anticipated once again. Willl she top her debut album? Only time will tell. But if Madonna and Cher can have a long career...there is no doubt in my mind that Gaga will prevail. #TAGShrugs

Re: I tell you! The Gaga phenomena has finished.

LOL You serious dude? Gaga is way more popular then Taylor Swift. Even emerging later. Check the facts please. Gaga has plenty of awards herself. Your attacks are getting weaker and weaker.

Swift isn't more successful then Gaga... not even by a stretch of the imagination. Gaga has far more international sway.

I mean who is making this a popularity contest? You go on and on about how Swift is somehow more popular (and facts say she isn't)... hence you're being inconsistent.

Re: I tell you! The Gaga phenomena has finished.

Miss Gaga will not be finished until she is good and ready. Saying her fame is dying down is like saying the storm is over because you don't hear the thunder...we've barely reached the eye of the storm.

I'm not a big Gaga fan, she had me at Paparazzi but lost me at Highway Unicorns (or whatever it's called). But I'm sure she along with her crew have a full plan for her over the next decade. She seems to have learned well from the great diva's throughout history and has a schematic to fame that most bitches would slice a baby goat for.

Don't hate on her. It may not be your type of art or desired approach to fame, but the people love her. She clearly has talent, which is all I care about when there are such a vast number of musicians hitting the radio who can't sing or play instruments or do anything really but redo a song that used to be a hit using some fancy computer software.

Re: I tell you! The Gaga phenomena has finished.

Of course she'll selling out concerts. But she's not the cultural phenomenon everyone was talking about before.

She got boring to the general public and honestly, I havent heard about her in months and I really don't care.
Fans will continue to love her but the general population is on the next thing.

Well yes, how can you hear from someone who has withdrawn herself from the public? She hasn't released a new song since last year, and she hasn't done any US press in months. In fact, most of her press is coming from her tour - where only fans are likely to know about. Trust, you'll hear all about Lady Gaga when the time for new music comes.

Gaga may help Greece's economy with new mansion - Forbes

Last month the Internet exploded with some very serious news: Her Highness Lady Gaga was building a multi-million dollar floating mansion in Greece. It was going to cost $20 million. No, wait, maybe $50 million. Or was it $30 million? Really depends on which site you were clicking on. It’s supposed to look as if it is floating on the sea, like something Charles Foster Kane would have built if his turf was more jet ski and less sled. This new crib is supposedly going to be an optical illusion house. Rumor has it she’s also going to build a palace and a church to go with it just for fun. Everyone was in a tizzy about this magical floating mansion but really – why all the fuss?

This is Lady Gaga, people. A piano prodigy who wears meat dresses and Kermit the frog suits. Admittedly draping meat all over your body sounds about as pleasant as chomping into a Delta Airlines sandwich at gunpoint, but who doesn’t adore Kermit? Plus the little lifeless Kermy beret really pulled the whole ensemble together. But back to the matter at hand: The case of the floating mansion

Lady Gaga is one of the universe’s most successful musicians, and building a house in Greece might even help their struggling economy. She’ll be employing an awful lot of people, plus when it’s all said and done she’ll need an extravagant staff to maintain the thing. Maybe she can even keep the ghost-detecting machine she bought in the new house, just to be safe. That was another zany purchase by the pop star, but did you know anyone can buy paranormal detection equipment like “The Ultimate Ghost Hunting Kit” right off the Internet? You don’t have to be a zillionaire celeb to be safe. Just a little kooky – or really afraid of ghosts.

The world will watch in anticipation as Lady Gaga’s floating mansion evolves. Let’s hope it does help the Greek economy and employ some people who need it. Let’s hope she does reveal her magnificent floating living room and her astounding floating bathroom in Architectural Digest. And finally let’s hope against hope that she doesn’t say her construction workers built it with love.

Plus, I'd be saving up for the future since the rate at which the economy's going, it ain't goin' to be pretty.

Dare I say Gaga peaked with Fame Monster. Born This Way was a success no doubt but we will have to wait and see if my daring statement holds truth.

and i dont know why people are still going on about how Christina said she wasnt sure if Gaga was a man or not. I'm pretty sure at that point the general populace either 1. didnt know who Gaga was 2. if Gaga was really a woman, so can we really blame Christina for speaking her mind? If everyone was so sure that Gaga was a woman, no reporter would have asked Gaga if she had a vagina at a press conference.

Oh PLEASE! LOL

It was a bitch comment and you know it.

And we ain't butt-hurt - you see where 'YB' is on the charts. *giggle*

Re: The Official LADY GAGA Mega-thread

Somebody should tell her that getting fat will not make her the next Xtina or Adele...Hell Beth Ditto has more talent in one of her fat rolls then Gaga... I guess when your in the shadow of Taylor Swift and getting humilliated by Queen Madonna then you really have nothing to lose.

Calling Lady Xerox! Calling Lady Xerox! You have a call from 2009, its Lady Gaga calling wanting her talent and originality back...
